What are you guys doing for your mum this year?

Im a bit stuck here, my mum has just moved to England so the usual chocs and flowers thing is kinda out of the question.

4 days and counting....

I'll probably send her an ecard, since she lives on the other side of the World...

Mine's in the UK too.

Might send 'er a text or sumthin', if she's lucky.

It seems like all the Mum's are in the UK!! It is not Mothers Day over there so it will be a nice surprise for them if you call them!! If you get a Kia ora phone card it only costs 7 cents a minute to the UK on a land line. Or a Yabba card and you can call UK mobiles for 12cents a minute!!! cheap aye ;o)

They are 11 hours behind at the moment if the idea works for you guys.

That's what I will be doing.

This is my first year without a mother....makes me realise what a good son I was to forget all those Mothers Days over the years - I'll still go and see her though...

Mum in Aus, me save money

**bugjuice** · 4th May 2005, 12:18

there's always interflora and Thorntons in the UK that do web-orders. Just send a small bunch via the web (and be prepaired for a nice cc bill)..

mothers day in the UK isn't at the same time. No idea when it is, but I know it's not the same time of year, so they won't be busy

I thought mother's day was last sunday? That may have been the reason for her no suspecting anything like all the previous years...

thats not a bad idea. CBF buying a card for 1 call.
vodafone charge 49c off peak.

might make her a video of new zealand etc etc with me and my bro. that'd be nice.

There's so much you can do via the internet - just get out there surfing, plus, as it's not actually mother's day in the UK, they won't have hiked the prices up for everything. No excuse for not sending a card too - the mail tends to be really quick from here to the UK!!

Mother's Day?! In May?!
Grrreat, since I missed Mothers day in the UK I can make up for it now.

Anyone know anywhere online I can buy rubber gloves and tea towel. She deserves to be spoilt after all.

Biff ducks as all the feminists and whingers on KB take issue with his sexist attitude. Albeit a bloody joke for heavens sake.

But seriously. what about if I got some nice footage of NZ and the family over here and edit it up all nice and slow like. and dub in 'only yooooo' song that I forget the rest of the lyrics to. its proberly a love song not suitable to send my loverly mother anyway
